Dancing with the Tiger by Lili Wright
1.0
I cannot think of a single moment when I was not insanely frustrated by this book. There is not one remotely likable character. Anna, our protagonist, has to be the most inept fact checker in the history of the world, and is also completely incapable of making anything except the worst possible decision in any circumstance. She is the sole architect of almost every one of her problems, but can never quite figure out why the rest of the world keeps shitting on her.
The only thing that kept me from DNF'ing the book entirely was sending excerpts of horrifically bad writing to a friend so she could suffer with me.
I could also never fully escape the feeling that this book was written by someone who hates women. The tone and word choices in almost every chapter seep with a constant sensation of cringe. To see that it was written by a woman who is apparently also in academia just added to the frustration on every level.
